The "Journal of Nanoparticle Research" has published a study by IRG3 researchers reporting findings from an international survey of nano industry safety practices. Nanomaterials companies in 14 countries responded to the survey.

Study findings indicate that health and safety guidance is not reaching industry effectively, and suggest that that a more top-down approach from regulators may be needed to protect both workers and the environment.
